Alicante se libra del caos en los nuevos controles fronterizos de la UE: “Es un proceso sencillo, pero el concepto es discriminatorio”

Alicante airport, a major destination for British tourists during peak season, operates smoothly compared to other European airports experiencing chaos due to the new EU electronic border control system (EES). The EES, fully operational since April, has caused scenes of confusion for non-EU citizens, with long lines, lost flights, malfunctioning kiosks, and insufficient personnel.

Despite the general ease of travel in Alicante, some passengers express dissatisfaction with the confusing new controls and point out room for improvement. Other Spanish airports, particularly Madrid, which is the busiest in Spain, are facing more issues with the system.
